While most of us would rather eat glass than attend a bridal/ event show, there is quite a lot to be said for being able to walk into one location and check out everything from venues and caterers to entertainment and fun custom items. That notion was the inspiration for The Event Library, the latest venture for Hannah and Lynn Rodewald (yes, the clever duo behind The Pleasure of Your Company). Walk in and get brilliant ideas and all the insider resources you’ll need to execute whatever your party-planning heart desires. Say “I want to do something different for my husband’s 50th” and, after some careful questions about your other half’s interests, Hannah can help you plan a wine tasting at your home, a Baltimore Ducks tour with brunch, a whitewater rafting trip at Wisp, you name it. The most fun? The possibilities for kids parties. Forget the Moon Bounce, The Event Library can hook you up with mini-golf and a batting cage in your backyard. Says Hannah, “This isn’t just a party resource, it’s celebrating life.” And don’t we all need to do more of that these days? Don’t miss: Soon The Event Library will be hosting book signings and offering seminars like creating memorable holiday table settings with pieces you already own.

One of Baltimore’s favorite jewelry stores, Amaryllis, has relocated to Harbor East, in a darling new jewel box of a space. So perfect for finding fun everyday pieces— duck in for the trendy leather and silk bracelets from Erica Honig, the geometric designs of Barbie Levy and the modern but delicate looks of Zoe Chicco. Savvy loved the selection of cuff links for under $100, the AAA pearls and even chic-yet-practical bags from Baggalini. And Amaryllis continues its commitment to local designers like Sloane Brown (is there any woman in Baltimore who doesn’t love her wear-with-everything hoops?) and Nina Scala (her eco-friendly pieces are stylish and smart).

Growing up, Savvy was never without her classic cotton pique Lacoste polos. Perfect in winter (layered over a white cotton turtleneck and under a Shetland sweater) and summer (she threw on her pale pink Lacoste and khaki shorts on Saturday nights when she wanted to feel like hot stuff), she loved her little alligator looks. Flash forward more years than Savvy would ever admit to: Lacoste has now opened one of its signature boutiques in Towson Town Center, still stocking the shirt that started it all as well as darling sportswear basics for men, women and kids. Want to spot Savvy this summer? She’ll be the one in the polo dress with a (faux) tan, cocktail in her hand and Ray-Bans on her head, feeling once again like hot stuff. Don’t miss: Fun accessories like the sporty and sunny canvas totes and shoppers with stripe trims. Towson Town Center, level 2, 410-321-4782
